Here’s a poem I wrote a couple of years ago. It was originally written in Siksika (Blackfoot), which is a Native-American language that I am slowly learning, and then translated to English. It was published by Subprimal Poetry in 2016. The song-like structure is purposeful as it was intended to be recorded and released as Native-American music. I include it here for your enjoyment.

Oh, I love this! 💕
My favorite stanza: Come sit by the fire, my friend, Let us dream of tomorrow. Together we’ll speak of today But never of yesterday’s sorrow.
…makes me want to find this person out on the range tonight and enjoy a nice campfire and long evening conversation. 😊 Thank you for sharing!
